Evaluation of the Learning Curve in Robotic-Assisted Total Knee Arthroplasty: A Time-Series Analysis of Surgical Time.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Objective This study aimed to assess whether surgical times in robotic-assisted total knee arthroplasty (rTKA) could be comparable to those of conventional total knee arthroplasty (TKA), and to identify the point in the learning curve at which this occurs. Methods A time-series analysis was conducted on the first 50 consecutive primary rTKA procedures performed by a single surgeon at a university hospital. The surgeon, with seven years of experience and performing 30 TKA surgeries annually, used the ROSA
